SMS Ulan

SMS Ulan was one of the dozen Huszár-class destroyers built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. She served in World War I and was handed over to Greece afterwards. She served in the Royal Hellenic Navy under the name of Smyrni until 1931 when the ship was withdrawn from service and scrapped.

Shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Ulan took part in August 1914 in the blockade of the Montenegrin coast. On 16 August 1914, the ship patrolled there with the cruiser Zenta and were surprised by an Allied fleet. Under the orders of the Zenta's commander, Captain Paul Pachner, Ulan managed to escape the ensuing battle.

On the night of 2 March 1915, Ulan took part in an expedition to the port of Antivari (along with her sisters Csikós and Streiter and torpedo boats 57T, 66F and 67F), which ended with shelling and laying mines at the port and the destruction of the Montenegrin royal yacht Rumija.
